We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Lead Geologist

Location: Lagos

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will

• Own the field’s geological model — the structural and stratigraphic framework from 3D seismic, petrophysical evaluation, and the volumetric and uncertainty basis behind reserves
• Own the well prognosis and the geological content of the drilling and data acquisition programmes, and supervise wellsite geology through the well campaign
• Complete the well-to-seismic tie and re-map the field on the calibrated interpretation, revising volumetrics and fluid contacts
• Lead the geological basis for the post-first-oil Field Development Plan — how reservoir geometry, connectivity and compartmentalisation bear on well placement, facility siting and phasing
• Mature the model through producing life: appraisal, development and infill wells, reservoir management input, and opportunities to improve recovery and extend field life

What we are looking for

• Degree in Geology or Geoscience
• 8+ years in subsurface geology, spanning well operations and development geoscience
• 3D seismic interpretation, well-to-seismic tie, velocity modelling and depth conversion
• Static modelling, petrophysical evaluation, and volumetric estimation with uncertainty ranges
• Well operations experience — geological prognosis and drilling programme, wellsite geology supervision, and real-time tops and casing point calls
• On-site in Lagos with rig-site and offshore visits during well operations.
• Resumption within 4–6 weeks of offer.

Remuneration

• Competitive compensation based on experience.
